Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Magnetic Field Induced by a Lightning Strike's Indirect Effect Double Exponential Current WaveformScott L. Meredith, Susan K. Earles, Ivica N. Kostanic, Niescja E. TurnerProblem statement: Develop a new formula which describes the magnetic field induced by a lightning strike’s indirect effect double exponential current waveform. Approach: A novel approach for developing a closed-form solution for the magnetic field from the indirect effect double exponential current waveform will be presented. In the literature, models typically employ the pulse waveform to derive the corresponding electromagnetic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,195 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Horizontal Electric Field Induced by a Lightning Return StrokeScott L. Meredith, Susan K. Earles, Niescja E. TurnerProblem statement: Develop a new formula which describes the horizontal electric field induced by a lightning return stroke in contact with an imperfect conductive surface. Approach: A new method for describing the horizontal electric field induced by a lightning return stroke will be presented. The method presented here had utilized an approach which purposely downplayed the physics of how image … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,420 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA New Method to Describe Image Theory for an Imperfect ConductorScott L. Meredith, Susan K. Earles, Niescja E. TurnerProblem statement: Modify the equations associated with image theory in order to account for perfect and imperfect conductors. Approach: A novel approach for describing the application of image theory for an imperfect conductive surface was presented. The method presented here purposely downplays the physics of how image theory was employed to account for a charge which is in the presence … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,728 accessesView PDF Cite
